    Antibacterial treatment before micturating cystourethrography (MCU) significantly reduces post-procedure infection risk. Subsequent urine culture is essential for all patients undergoing MCU.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Micturating cystourethrography (MCU) is a common diagnostic imaging procedure.
    • Urinary tract infections (UTIs) can be a complication following invasive urological procedures.
    • Understanding risk factors for post-MCU infection is crucial for patient care.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the incidence of infection following micturating cystourethrography (MCU).
    • To identify factors influencing the occurrence of post-MCU infections.
    • To determine the necessity of antibacterial prophylaxis and urine culture post-MCU.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 87 patients who underwent micturating cystourethrography (MCU).
    • Data collected on pre-existing infections, development of post-procedure infections, and patient characteristics.

  • Statistical analysis to assess the influence of sex, catheterization difficulty, radiological findings, and antibacterial treatment on infection rates.

    • Main Results:

    • 14 out of 87 patients had infection at the time of MCU; 18 developed infection later.
    • The occurrence of post-MCU infection was significantly associated with the absence of antibacterial treatment during the procedure.
    • Patient sex, catheterization difficulty, and radiological abnormalities did not significantly influence post-MCU infection rates.

    Conclusions:

    • Antibacterial prophylaxis is recommended for patients undergoing micturating cystourethrography (MCU) to prevent infections.
    • Routine urine culture following MCU is mandatory to detect and manage potential infections.
    • Prophylactic measures should focus on antibacterial treatment rather than other patient or procedural factors.
